Share your stories, but protect your relationships
Written on August 12th, 2016
As writers, it's common to hear that we shouldn't be afraid to share our stories.
Utilizing our personal experiences to create engaging, innovative work is an accepted method within the composition community; even most journalists and fiction writers rely on their own lives for at least some degree of inspiration.
Each one of us is unique and has a wide range of memories that are specific only to us, and it seems natural that we should draw on these vivid personal recollections in order to connect with an audience.
But there is a tricky tradeoff associated with this long-accepted advice: sometimes sharing our stories involves hurting those around us.
No matter how harmless it might seem, writing about a personal experience will likely invade the privacy of someone close to you. It could present an opinion that you have been careful to hide. It could expose thoughts that, while deep or insightful, you don't want your friends and family to see. It's so much easier to be anonymous, to write to an intangible audience whom you don't know at all. But when those you care about are also invested in reading your work, you are put in a difficult position of reconciling important writing with the preservation of important relationships.
No matter how vague you are in your recollection of an experience, someone is likely to notice the connections. And the less specific you are, the less clear the ultimate message of your writing becomes – and we write to illustrate points and concepts that we think are important.
How do we maintain our integrity as writers while still maintaining our integrity as friends?
The simplest answer is this: imperfectly.
We will all make mistakes in the name of our passions. Heck, we will all make mistakes, period. They might be small and insignificant, or they might rock the very foundation of our lives for a while. Regardless of their magnitude, we need to be responsible in accepting them, reflective in analyzing them, and proactive in avoiding similar transgressions in the future.
When it comes to mistakes in writing, we may not be aware of many of them right away. You might think something is completely harmless and okay only to realize later that it inadvertently hurt someone else. You may underestimate the weight of what you're saying or the value it will have to someone else.
Perhaps most importantly, you will see things from your own perspective. Our memories are so specific to us because we all experience events differently, and this can color the way you tell a story later on…just as it will color the way that others interpret that story.
All of these realizations serve to make the task of finding a balance in honest storytelling seem pretty complicated.
None of us is or will ever be perfect, but I do think that there are two important things to consider in this regard: first, that your intentions are what matter the most; and second, that when in doubt you should always keep the focus on yourself.
I'm a believer in the idea that we should judge others on their intentions, not just their actions. We often only see the surface of what others do without being able to understand why they do it.
We have all experienced times where we do something with the best outcome in mind only to have it backfire, and I think we need to be understanding when the same thing happens to those around us.
In regards to writing, we need to appreciate that everyone will interpret our work differently, but that our intentions in creating a piece are the most important things to think about.
Are you telling this story to illustrate a larger point? Are you using these personal examples to further your audience's understanding of your message? If that's the case, then you should feel confident that you are not engaging in anything malicious, even if you do share things about your personal life and the lives of those around you. This is not to say that it's okay to completely invade someone else's privacy – you still need to exercise caution about how your work will affect others.
But if you can say truthfully that you are telling your story for a bigger purpose than exploiting anyone around you, you're probably doing okay.
On the other hand, if your main goal is to make those involved in your story appear in a certain way to the public, you need to check yourself and your intentions. Writing should be about being honest and insightful, not about causing harm or achieving personal gain.
But good intentions are definitely not enough to make hurting someone else okay.
There's a pretty simple way to make sure that your storytelling achieves its purpose without harming anyone else: keep the focus on yourself. If you are at all in doubt about your work, ask yourself if it focuses more on the details of your personal experience or more on the bigger message you are trying to present.
Good, reflective storytelling should be about how an experience changed or affected you – not on the technicalities of how those around you acted. If it is necessary to present some of those details so as to make your point clear, that's okay, but the biggest focus should still always be on yourself.
Think of it this way: instead of talking so much about what someone did, talk about how that action made you feel. Focus on your response, your thought process, your perception of your experience. After all, the most honest writing will reflect the depth of your feelings – not necessarily the minute details of a given situation.
At the end of the day, writing is a complicated business. We all have things we want to say, and we all have things preventing us from feeling comfortable saying them.
I agree with the masses and strongly believe that you should tell your stories, but I also believe just as vehemently that you should do so in the most respectful and kind manner possible.
I myself have not been perfect at this in the past — nor will I be in the future. But if there's one thing I've discovered about life, it's that it's a constant learning experience.
You can use everything that happened to you today to be a better you tomorrow.

Hawks hoops relish LSI experience against Oak Hill Academy
Out of the corner of his left eye, Southridge's Brock Henry spotted an oncoming David McCormick moving at full speed from the half court line in hot pursuit of the Skyhawk sharpshooter.
At 6-foot-10, 260 pounds, McCormick is the starting center for Oak Hill Academy, a Virginia prep basketball factory that's one of the best programs in the nation. McCormick is a teenager by birth certificate only. Everything else about him physically screams grown man going on 10-year NBA veteran. This is a guy who cut open his shooting elbow by violently smashing it against the backboard trying to reject a shot. McCormick, like many of his Oak Hill teammates, is a physical specimen you don't see often on the Oregon high school basketball scene.
Henry could've pulled up for three, stepped back away from the Warrior big for a cleaner, safer look. After all, the junior had already buried a trio of treys in the first quarter to begin what would end up being a breakout individual performance. A heat check triple would've been acceptable. Southridge, following a rickety start of turnovers and fouls, went shot for shot with Oak Hill in the first frame of the Les Schwab Invitational quarterfinals and trailed just 29-23.
But rather than settle, Henry attacked. One right-handed dribble later, Henry exploded off his left foot toward the rim as McCormick sprung out his sprint to meet the Skyhawk at the summit.
Henry, with the ball cuffed in his right hand, unfurled a hellacious dunk attempt that hit the back of the rim as McCormick got a slight piece of the rock. The mid-air meeting and near posterization of the Kansas commit sent the LSI crowd into a delirium. The local team, backed by throngs of supporters from around the area, had the mass's full attention.
Eventually, Oak Hill's ethereal talent took over completely. McCormick and his future Division One teammates who are headed for Oregon, Florida, Kansas and Kentucky put on a high-flying pyrotechnic display of power and grace en route to a 94-53 win on Dec. 28 at Liberty High School.
Henry's zenith, however, punctuated a message that started in the first quarter. It was emblematic of Southridge's approach. Was Oak Hill more gifted athletically and physically than the Skyhawks? Sure. But Southridge didn't get pushed around by the No. 2 team in the United States and they certainly weren't punked.
"We're not scared of anybody," Southridge senior wing Jared Ebanks said. "We don't look up to anybody. We don't look down to anybody. We just play the same each day and we'll play anybody. That's something (head coach Phil) Vesel preaches every day. We pick each other up. We're playing to win every possession, every game and play as hard as we can."
Southridge entered the game as the tournament's dark horse, without its centerpiece Filip Fullerton who missed the game due to mononucleosis. And after Jefferson and Grant punched their tickets to the LSI semifinals on Friday night with impressive wins over Beaverton and Crespi (CA), the two PIL powers likely will commandeer the state title conversation until the Class 6A state tournament in March. But Southridge should be considered in the upper crest of state contenders. First quarter uproars like the one the Skyhawks mounted against Oak Hill most definitely put Jefferson and Grant on notice and proved Southridge's "A" game is capable of testing the best.
"We have a chip on our shoulder as a program and a school," Henry said. "We've never won a Metro title, so we're trying to come out and fight every single game and prove to people that this is a unique Southridge team. We want to prove that maybe we're ready for that Metro title or can go down to the state championship and win it all."
Oak Hill threw a knockout punch early in the first quarter, slamming home a trio of highlight reel dunks while forcing three turnovers and causing three Skyhawk fouls in the first three minutes to grab an early 8-0 lead. A lot of teams would've succumbed to the haymaker, hit the canvas and let the referee count to ten. But Southridge took the chin music and rearranged itself. Vesel inserted Ebanks off the bench, who immediately banged two three-pointers without the slightest inkling of hesitation. Asked to provide firepower and a self-assured presence off the pine, Ebanks did both and helped stave off the early rout with his right-handed outside touch.
"I worked on my shot the entire summer and really for my whole life, so it was good to show that off, but teammates found me," Ebanks said. "When we pass and hit shots we play well. Vesel always says you gotta be ready to play off the bench, so I knew I had to be prepared. We were playing hard for each other."
Then Southridge senior guard Bo Quinlan pierced Oak Hill's perimeter defense and passed out to Henry, who hit his first three of the game to bring Southridge within 14-9 midway through the first frame. Henry — who Vesel said before the season could have a huge individual year — was only starting to heat up. The junior twisted a sweet righty reverse home amongst the Warrior trees inside along the baseline. A few plays later Henry stared down a squatting McCormick and buried an NBA-range three in his mug. And Quinlan came back and on the next trip down and sprayed a deep left wing three to bring Southridge within 19-17. McCormick, Keldon Johnson and Keyontae Johnson look like they could start for almost any D1 school in the country, not next year, but right now. Will Richardson is a smooth lefty with quick hands and great defensive instincts. Oak Hill can overwhelm teams with its talent. But, for a quarter, Southridge went right at the Warrriors' throats, playing assertively and without doubt.
"We had nothing to lose," Henry said. "People weren't expecting us to win this, so we just wanted to go show out for the home crowd. We not only wanted to be aggressive with our shots but try to match their physicality. All of those dudes are huge. They're men. So, we had to step up and say 'We can't just cower away.' We had to step up and fight back."
Ebanks bombed another three, this time from the left corner, and Henry, feeling more and more comfortable against Oak Hill's athletes, hit another three from the left wing to pull Southridge within 25-23. Oak Hill led 29-23 at the end of one, but Henry, Ebanks and Quinlan came out of the gate scalding, hitting a combined six threes in first eight minutes of action, matching the Warriors' dunk contest with an outside arsenal of bombs from deep on the other end.
"We showed what we can do," Ebanks said. "We were not worried about what was ahead of us, just right now. We want to grow as a team, get guys involved, play great offense and defense. We've always been confident, we're just going to keep playing harder and that confidence will build."
Henry had 11 of his team-high 16 points in the first quarter alone. For most of his teammates, playing Oak Hill was a once-in-a-playing career experience. But Henry played like he wanted another shot at the Johnsons somewhere down the line at the collegiate level. In the second quarter, Henry ran off an Iverson screen along the baseline, ripped the ball from the right side to the left, took a left-handed dribble toward the baseline and spun home a sick right-handed reverse.
"I think a lot of people saw us as underdogs and I kind of view myself as an underdog, too," Henry said. "Going up against those guys, you know they're taller, bigger, stronger. But sometimes it comes down to skill and I wanted to show that. It was special for me."
The blistering team-wide start couldn't be sustained on Southridge's behalf. Bradley Bickler and Zach Galvin both had putbacks inside in the second quarter, but Oak Hill opened a 49-30 halftime lead. And the Warriors turned the screws down defensively, holding Southridge to just four more threes the rest of the way. After the hot beginning, the Skyhawks shot 17 percent in the second and third quarters. At the same time, both Johnsons, McCormick and the rest of the Warrior freak athletes put on a spectacle for the crowd, turning turnovers into rim-rattling dunks, rejections and high-powered drives to the cup. Henry hit a left-corner three and Galvin canned two treys in the third, but Keldon Johnson slammed home a windmill dunk just before the end of the quarter to give Oak Hill a 75-38 lead.
Henry finished the game with 16 points on 6-13 shooting including 4-8 from three. Galvin ended the game with 9 points and 4 boards. Ebanks finished with 11 points.
Southridge lost to Crespi (CA) and future Arizona point guard Brandon Williams in the fifth-place game of the LSI, but bounced back and beat Beaverton 65-61 on Dec. 29.

The BodyTalk System is "Consciousness" Health Care.
BodyTalk is changing the face of modern medicine!
How BodyTalk is different than traditional medicine
BodyTalk, like a lot of energy healing, is different from traditional medicine, because it operates on levels beyond just the physical plane, like with our thoughts and emotions. BodyTalk gently brings people to new levels of health and awareness. And, most often, this occurs without the need for traditional medical treatment or as an alternative because the traditional treatment was not effective. BodyTalk supports one's own natural healing ability and kickstarts it into action when needed.
How BodyTalk Works
BodyTalk practitioners use a technique called muscle checking to find the areas in your body/mind that are out of balance and then use gentle tapping to balance them. BodyTalkers navigate a complex map of the body/mind that includes all aspects of your physical and energy body as well as the rest of your environment. So, you may find that your chakras need to balance to your endocrines, your amygdala needs to balance to being alone at night, your body is ready to let go of a painful event or memory or limiting belief system, and so much more. Your session is unique to you, because it's what you need in your session at that exact time. Read about my first BodyTalk session here.
Here's one of the BodyTalk charts. (there are many)
The BodyTalk Session
BodyTalk sessions can be done in person and from a distance. When I was in practice, I offered both to my clients. I really enjoyed both for different reasons. I loved being able to connect with clients who come to the office, but I also loved the confirmation of how powerful BodyTalk is, even at a distance. Sessions are usually very relaxing and average 30 minutes to 1 hour. There is a gentle muscle checking that the practitioner usually does with your wrist or hand. Then, tapping on the head and heart help to support your body making the shift and remembering it. Often, you and/or the practitioner will hold different key areas that you are working with. Your practitioner will usually explain what is being addressed and give you their best interpretation of them when possible. Sometimes it's very clear what is being addressed and sometimes a little more general… it all serves a purpose. And, in many of my sessions, my clients went into a deep relaxation and some even fell asleep, so I would often recap the session at the end for them.
Healing with BodyTalk
BodyTalk sessions often bring about great shifts in people. I remember one client in particular break down crying as she entered my office… she had no idea why. I assured her that she was just already shifting. When we take steps to heal ourselves, life will let us know… it's called feedback. Sometimes things in our life will go haywire or even wonderfully. It's all a sign that we are shifting. Simply let the bad go and enjoy the good.
BodyTalk Classes
You can also learn how to do BodyTalk for maintaining and improving your own health or as a modality to add to your practice. There is a one day class, the Access Class, that teaches 5 invaluable techniques including something called Fast Aid, which is a quick 4 step protocol to use in any emergency situation that helps bring the body/mind back into balance. Learn more about Access here. And there's Modules 1 & 2, a four day course that trains you in the basic BodyTalk System protocol and muscle checking. This is great if for personal use or if you'd like to become a practitioner or add BodyTalk to your practice.
BodyTalk and Energy Healing Overview
BodyTalk is more than a simple healing modality… it's an awesome transformational tool that will take you and your life to a whole new level of awareness and health. If you are new to this new paradigm of medicine that we are in, my documentary The Future of Medicine, is an excellent tool to help you become familiar with what is available. You will also receive many great tips and bits of wisdom that you can begin to implement now.

Attuned with the flow of dharma, life transforms from motions on a bleak and lifeless chessboard into a multifaceted, multidimensional celebration emanating from a virgin mountain spring.
An infinite melody in the flux of textured emptiness, the orchestra of the universe plays its haunted songs.
The universe is adance, saturated with celebration. Face the music, move your bones. Are you discordia or concordia?
The wheel of law is turned anew with a flowery touch. Polarities reconciled, the flower of dharma is born of mother nature's sacred womb.
Roams the bodhisattva, the infinitely benevolent light of the worlds, his task undone 'til the world samsara is frozen and all sentient beings are free.
And the fairies dance, they dance under the rainbows, in the terrestrial orchids woven of heaven-strands, intoxicated with joy of life and honey wine.
For the grieving it moves at a snaily pace, yet it races for the indulgent; and the universe is still for the one gone beyond time and space.
Enter the sacred arena of harmony, the great plateau of emptiness. Dance across the pristine fields in an endless celebration of life.

Have you ever set your Wi-Fi password but forgot it late on? Or do you see a strong signal near you but it is locked? Well then you came to the right place. The locked mark next to the Wi-Fi signal indicates that the Wi-Fi signal is password protected.
How to Hack Wi-Fi Password Through Router
The best and easiest way to get a Wi-Fi password is to access the router. Just login to your router and reset the password from there.
Now the router may or may not have a password depending on if you have set it or not. In case you did set that pass but don't know it then simply reset it physically. If you have access to the router then reset it by hand. Simply press the reset button for 10 seconds and it will reset to factory settings.
Check the router sticker if the router was provided by the internet service provider. It has the default Wi-Fi password and router access code written on it. It may be mentioned under the "key" word. Now connect to the router using Ethernet cable and reset the password.
This only allows your device to attack itself to the Wi-Fi. The URL appointed is either 192.168.1.1 or any other similar IP. There it will ask for the default user name and password since you reset the router. The user name and password is mentioned in the user manual.
Change the password and user name as most people try these basic codes before going to any measures to hack a Wi-Fi signal. Set a strong code and turn on the wireless network option. There you go. Now you can run your Wi-Fi router again.
Almost all routers have a rest button but if the router you have doesn't have it then you are in trouble.
Wi-Fi Hacking Sites may Cause Trouble
You see plenty of websites with the title of hack Wi-Fi easily or hack Wi-Fi. But these sites are as trustworthy as a snake. These sites do not guarantee results and they come with tons of viruses. Mostly as soon as you download these sites they delete your anti viruses. Even before you install them.
These are sometimes payed and sometimes free. But it's the same both ways. Few of these sites actually work but that is like a needle in a hay stack. The best solution for hacking a password is simply to build your own system.
Wi-Fi Hacking System
The best way to hack a password safely is to build your own system. For this you run two operating systems on your PC. One is for your daily use and activities and the one is for penetration testing.
What is a penetration testing you may think. It is the process or a form of offensive approach on security of a network. During this offense you search for any and all loop holes in a security of a network and decide all paths to breach that security.
For this you use a couple of OS that are made for this purpose. Two of them are Kali Linux or Black Track Linux. Both of these are manufactured by the same company and both are built for the same purpose. But kali Linux is more polished then Black Linux. The best part is that both these software's are free and they come with tools that are specific in cracking a networks code.
Kali Linux can be used directly from the USB or the CD without the need to install it directly on the hard drive. Also if you don't want to install the OS on your PC then simply use the two tried and true tools. These are the tools of Wi-Fi hackers.
Air tack has been used for years in Wi-Fi security. Even before WPA was started in 2004. Air tack 1.2 is the latest version that is famous for its tools for auditing wireless networks. It is by default a part of an admins toolkit and to start an offense this is the best place to start.
For Wi-Fi hacking your Wi-Fi adapter and Air crack gather a lot of data before even trying to run an offense. This is very time consuming. Air crack can be found with its full and detailed documentation but it is not that easy or simple. Before even beginning your PC must have a Wi-Fi adapter.
Specifically the one that supports packet injection. Also you yourself must be comfortable with command line interface. And overall this process is very time consuming so one must be patient.
One more way is to use KisMack. It is also called the sniffer as it finds the nearby Wi-Fi's and crack some keys if the PC has the correct Wi-Fi adapter. http://kismac-ng.org/
To crack strong WPA passwords or phrases we need stronger systems. And that is done by https://code.google.com/archive/p/reaver-wps/. It is a part of Backtrack Linux distro.
Also http://www.reaversystems.com/ can do the job. Off course to work with these systems you need to be comfortable with command line. But these are very fast systems. At minimum they can crack a password in 10 hours (depending on the router conditions and signal strength) and almost 24 hours as well.
If you yourself are worried for hacking attacks then get a router that doesn't support WPS. Or turn the WPS setting off on your router.

Qendro ne kontakt me rrugen
Your tyres are your only contact with the road - and each tyre touches an area roughly the size of your hand. The best place to get the correct tyres for your car is your Ford Dealer/Authorised Repairer. Our specialists advise and guide you in considering the right choice of tyre, offer brand names at attractive prices and check all safety components during the course of tyre fitting.
Types of Tyres
Keep cool and in control. Especially in cold weather.We recommend using winter tyres when temperatures drop to 7º C or below, because winter tyres contain a special compound that doesn't get stiff when temperatures drop. In some countries this is even a legal requirement. Please note that winter performance is only guaranteed by tyres with the snowflake symbol on the sidewall.
For mud, snow and everything in between.M+S (mud and snow) tyres are specially designed for driving in mud and snow and have a particularly rough profile to cope with these conditions. M+S doesn't indicate specific winter performance unless the tyre also has a snowflake symbol.
Versatility for everything a season has to offer.
So-called "all-season tyres" can be used all year round and have a sun, raindrop or leaf symbol on the sidewall. However, tests show that all-season tyres are still unable to match the specific performance of a winter or summer tyre.
Keep you moving safely, even with a loss of air – Run-flat Tyres.
Run-flat Tyres help you to keep going when your tyres loose pressure. They allow you to safely continue driving at a specified maximum speed for a certain distance.
Know your tyres.
Take a closer look at the sidewall of a tyre and you'll see a number of markings and symbols. But what do they mean?
Download this PDF document to find out.
EU Tyre Label
More transparency when choosing tyres.Starting November 2012 all new tyres need to bear the EU tyre label as part of the EU energy efficiency action plan, designed to reduce energy consumption by 20 % until 2020. Ford supports this improvement in customer information.
Characteristics of the EU tyre label.The label informs on 3 criteria: rolling resistance, wet grip and noise emission in a classification starting from the best performance (green A) to the worst (red G).
Rolling resistance (fuel efficiency)
Low rolling resistance saves fuel and reduces CO2 emission. An improvement of one class equals fuel saving of at least 0.1 l per 100 km. Class D is not occupied.
Wet grip (braking performance)
Wet grip is an important factor for safe driving. The difference in braking distance from best to worst class can sum up to as much as 18 m when driving at 80 km/h. Classes D and G are not occupied.
Noise emission
Tyre noise emission is part of the overall vehicle noise where the pass-by noise made by the tyre is measured. The more bars are filled, the louder the pass-by noise. A continuous sound pressure level above 80 decibel can have an adverse effect on health.
Additional criteria
The new EU Label is designed to display 3 characteristics, however the following performance factors are also to be considered:
• aquaplaning
• driving stability
• steering precision
• durability
• braking characteristics (on dry road surfaces)
• performance in winter conditions
• cornering grip
• handling
The EU Tyre Label helps you to evaluate qualities that are to be considered when purchasing tyres, but the criteria above should not be forgotten. Tyre tests, the dealer's recommendation and information provided by the manufacturer are still essential when finding YOUR tyre.
Please ask your Ford partner – he will be happy to help you.
Safety Tips
Safer tyres mean safer driving.
Tyres are a key safety feature of your vehicle, e.g. worn tyres could mean that your braking distance could increase by up to 70% on a wet road. The correct tyres, pressures and wear levels ensure that your vehicle performs properly in all conditions.
Keep air pressure at the right levelHaving the correct air pressure is vital to the performance of your car. Too little or too much air reduces road contact, wears your tyres out faster, and makes you use more fuel. Check your air pressure every two weeks. Check them when they're cold, as measurements aren't accurate after long journeys at high speed. Always screw the valve cap on tight and replace lost caps immediately, otherwise the valves will begin to leak. Also check valves and valve seals for damage.You should always fill your spare tyre with 0.1 to 0.3 bar extra pressure. However, pressure should never exceed the maximum level for driving with a full load. You can find the correct air pressure levels in your owner's manual.
Check your tyres' tread depth
Wear indicators in the tyre grooves will show you if the tread has reached the legal absolute minimum of 1.6 mm. Summer tyres should be changed when the tread is lower than 3 mm. If the tread on your winter tyres is below 4 mm, they could lose grip when driving on snow.
Make sure your tyres aren't too oldThe general rule is that a tyre lasts 6 years. After this, it should be changed – even if it looks like new and has hardly been used. The age of your tyres can be found on the side wall. It's a coded production date, e.g. in '0702', '07' indicates week 7 and '02' signifies 2002. Until 31st December, 1999, a '<' appeared after the third digit. If your tyre is that old please change it immediately. This applies to the spare tyre as well.
The right tyre keeps your fuel consumption down.
If your tyres are underinflated you'll use more fuel. Filling your tyres 0.1 to 0.3 bar over the recommended level helps reduce road resistance. However, you should never exceed the maximum pressure recommended for driving with a full load.
Complete Winter Wheels
Winter safety in one comprehensive package.Your Ford Dealer is the best place to go for complete Winter Wheel solutions. They can advise you about the right wheel/tyre combination for your vehicle and offer a comprehensive selection of steel and alloy wheel designs and brand name tyres for great prices.
We recommend using winter tyres once the outdoor temperature is 7 degrees or below, due to the materials used in these tyres. In some countries this is even a legal requirement. Please note that specific winter performance is only guaranteed by tyres with the snowflake symbol on the side wall.

I am originally from Southern California where I received a Bachelors Degree in music from USC, and was a musician most of my life. I then headed onto Cornell, several years later, to become a Surgical Physician Assistant. After working in New York City,Vail, and Montrose as a Physician Assistant, I very circuitously ended up in this tiny little mountain town called Telluride with my husband and two children. This is where I turned a very passionate hobby into a career and began to explore the world as a photographer.
I've been taking photographs for years, simply attempting to capture the beauty and essence of the incredible travels I've experienced and the wonderful people I've met along the way.
Through extensive encouragement from my husband and family to share these moments and stories I've been fortunate enough to capture, I've come to develop this exciting photography business.

As the Thanksgiving and winter holiday seasons approach, Wisconsin residents begin to plan gatherings with their families and friends. Many people throughout the state travel by car to get to their acquaintances' homes. When they arrive at their destinations, some choose to indulge in good food and celebratory drinks.
What is DUI school after a drunk driving conviction?
There are a variety of penalties that a Wisconsin resident may face if he or she is convicted of drunk driving. Depending upon whether the conviction is his first, second or one of several more, he or she can face fines, jail time, the suspension or revocation of his license and other sanctions. Some drivers also are subjected to DUI schools, also known as alcohol education programs.
Consider BAC changes when making a chemical test refusal
Many Wisconsin drivers may be under the assumption that their blood alcohol concentrations goes up and down exclusively based on how much they have had to drink. While alcohol intake does directly affect BAC, other factors can play into how a breath test will read a person's level of intoxication. Knowing these factors can help a person decide if he should refuse to take a breath or chemical test.
Wisconsin residents have different opinions on DUI penalties
Prior posts on this blog have discussed how Wisconsin addresses first-time drunk driving offenses. Wisconsin is the only state in the country that does not criminalize first time DUI charges. Critics from inside and outside the state's borders have condemned this practice as merely a slap on the wrist for what some consider a dangerous behavior.
Drunk driving charges may lead to loss of driving privileges
Many Wisconsin residents do not hesitate when it comes to going out with friends after work. Whether they grab a quick dinner or share war stories over beer, a lot of people enjoy the camaraderie of commiseration and need to decompress after spending time at their jobs. When they leave their informal get-togethers, however, some encounter unpleasant run-ins with the law.

May 11th marks the passing of the English astronomer, Sir John Frederick William Herschel. He was one of the better known English scientists of the time and made several contributions to astronomy. One contribution he was credited for was the discovery of life on the Moon. Existance of life on the Moon is a common question from kids and this might be the best answer for them.
Starting on August 25, 1835, six articles were published by the New York Sun newspaper describing Herschel's observation of Moon creatures such as unicorns, bipedal beavers and bat-winged humanoids. The Great Moon Hoax was written by Richard A. Locke to increase circulation for the New York Sun. It wasn't exposed as a hoax for two weeks and no retraction was ever made. Herschel was initially amused by the stories, but grew tired of trying to explain to people he had nothing to do with it or denying the observations to people who believed the hoax.

Many people started to drink water right after they wake up during the past few years. This especially is popular in Japan. Also many researchers prove that this is worth. Here we are going to show you how water heals some diseases.
We'll share with you an ancient Japanese water treatment which has proven to be very effective for many diseases. This regime of drinking water is 100% effective in the treatment of the following diseases:
- Arthritis
- Epilepsy
- Eye diseases
- Menstrual disorders
- Ear, nose and throat disorders
- Obesity
- Bronchitis
- Asthma
- Meningitis
- Headaches
- Body aches
- Cardiovascular diseases
- Kidney diseases
- Vomiting
- Gastritis
- Diarrhea
- Diabete
- Constipation
How to practice this water treatment:
1. Drink 4 glasses of water, 160 ml each, right after you wake up. You may want to do this before you brush your teeth.
2. Brush your teeth and rinse your oral cavity as you usually do. Do not drink anything for the next 45 minutes.
3. Have a normal breakfast, and drink your favorite juice or tea. Plain water works well, too.
4. Do not drink or eat anything for 2 hours after you finish your meals.
5. If you cannot manage drinking 4 glasses of water in the morning, start off with a glass or two, and increase this amount gradually.
6. Water treatment helps both healthy and sick individuals. It helps you enjoy a healthier life.
This is the duration it takes water to heal, reduce or control diseases:
- Gastric (10 days)
- Diabetes (30 days)
- High Blood Pressure (30 days)
- Cancer (180 days)
- Constipation (10 days)
- TB (90 days) need to consult a specialist
For people with arthritis, start with 3 days in the first week, and from the second week you can do it daily.
In the beginning of the treatment you may urinate more, but there are not side effects of this. It's so beneficial that everyone should try to implement it in their everyday life.

Well hello ladies and gents!
I am so happy to finally be home and relaxing. I am currently in my room with a candle lit, the TV on low, and waiting for the future hubz to get off work and give me a call. But recently, I had my YesStyle order arrive! So, I thought I'd do a little review for you all!
DISCLAIMER: I was not asked nor paid to do this review. All the items featured were purchased by me entirely with no persuasion by YesStyle. This review is based solely on my personal opinion of each item. I thank you for your understanding.
Just a little mentioning: this was a pretty small order…literally two items! I was originally only going to get the iPad mini case, but then something caught me eye and next thing I know I bought two items…this happens more often then I think.
So my first item is this rather adorable giraffe sweater! This is the Giraffe-Print Pullover from 59 Seconds in Navy Blue. I found this in the ready to ship section and it only comes in one size, so if you're thinking about ordering this, please know your measurements well. Price wise, it was pretty reasonable at $15.52 looking at the overall make of the product. The sweater is actually thicker than I initially thought, which is good because Virginia has gotten severely cold lately and this sweater is ridiculously warm. The outside of the sweater is cotton while the inside is lined with fleece which is so comfy and nice. The Giraffe print was actually weird to me. The front of the sweater has an embroidered giraffe's head blushing and the words "I'm Happy" right underneath. Since, the front was embroidered, you'd think the back would be as well. Unfortunately it is not and the body is almost an entirely different shade orange different. This threw me off a bit but I didn't make me hate the item either, so it's not a deal breaker. I do love how the back of the neck inside the sweater has a cute polka dot print, but people can't see it so I don't know why I am so excited about that. Overall, the sweater was a good buy and despite the awkward giraffe color change, I would totally suggest it. Matching it with cute sneakers would give this top an ultra comfy feel.
Now, we move on to the main reason I ordered on YesStyle: The Patterned Flip iPad Mini Case by Zoyu! I was so upset when my Hello Kitty iPad case was starting to come apart. I knew I had to start hunting for a reliable case…unfortunately my taste is rather cute for most iPad case makers. Luckily, YesStyle had a few that matched my tastes! I found this one for a steal: $8.73! It is brown polyurethane with embossed cartoon patterns and even features the auto on/sleep feature that typical smart covers come with. I was surprised to see that it came with the view angle bumps on the inside of the case. Honestly, for the price I paid, I am incredibly surprised at how good quality this case is. I love the pattern, the simply brown color, it makes me feel super cute which is what I wanted in a case. I would totally suggest this to you ladies (or gentlemen?) if you're looking for a cute and simple case! Just a reminder: This is for the original iPad mini, so the iPad Mini Air will not fit in this case.
OVERALL I really did enjoy both items and they will both be used as often as possible. I am so happy that I purchased these items and paid for express shipping because I was literally too excited to open up that package!
Well, thank you all for reading! I am currently working on my little recipe booklet! I am hoping to add a few things to the food category rather than relying simply on reviews of restaurants…plus I want to share with you my journey through learning how to cook without a microwave. The struggle. I also want to do more Fashion posts featuring Lookbooks and OOTDs! If you have anything you'd like to hear more about, please let me know in the comments below!
I hope you all have an amazing week! Stay safe, warm, and smile always.
Thanks for Reading~! ❤
With Love,
Taylor Rae

- Includes national teams, 24 different sorts of balls and six different weather conditions.
Which one's better? PES 12 or FIFA 2012?
That's the never-ending debate between fans of football games, not only this year, but ever since both games have coexisted. Each one has its advocates and knockers, and it's very hard to make a fan of one game or the other change his opinion.
From a totally objective point of view, FIFA 12 clearly beats Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 in terms of licenses, since Konami's game doesn't have the permits necessary to use the real names of all the teams and players that appear in the game. And it's quite bothering that the Merseyside Derby is played by Merseyside Red and Merseyside Blue instead of Liverpool and Everton.

We have also included information regarding financial aid and student loans.
Financial Aid
1Financial Aid is any grant or scholarship, loan, or paid employment offered to help a student meet his/her college expenses. This aid is usually provided by various sources such as federal and state agencies, colleges, high schools, foundations, and corporations. The amount of financial aid that a student receives is determined through federal, state and institutional guidelines. Grants include aid the student receives that need not be repaid; loans must be repaid. Interest rates and repayment terms very by program. Employment is aid based on an hourly rate for work performed.

Browse these drip irrigation system services with great ratings from Thumbtack customers in El Paso.
They replaced sprinkler heads and the valves and valve box which were leaking.
Very great work went above and beyond could not ask for anything more thank you very much I highly recommend them!
From the first prompt appointment to recieve a quote to having a date for the installation...El Paso Handyman were a delight to work with. It was a breeze. There was great constant communication on the progress and everything was handled very professionally. I am glad to announce I have some very healthy looking sod installed immaculately. I will definitely be recommending them to my coworkers and friends.
Tony re-tiled an area around the bathroom window that was old and moldy--looks like new. He is an excellent tiler and charges a fair price. I am using him on a regular basis for repairs on my rental properties.
Flores Concrete and Landscaping did an excellent job replacing our grass and sprinkler system. They were very professional, on schedule and gave us an excellent price. We would highly recommend their services.
Roberto's team did a super job on my lawn sprinkler system for a fair price. His team arrived on time and did a quick analysis of the problem and fixed the leak . He did a thorough job to include cleaning up the mess afterward. Hats off for a job well done. I would call him the next time I need sprinkler work done.
We had a few companies come and quote us for our whole yard to be landscaped and Jacob was the only one who came prepared with a tape measure and the only one who really listened to my ideas and didn't try and change them. Jacob is very nice and sincere and he wasn't a pushy salesman like some of the others. After all our quotes Jacobs was actually the lowest by about $1500 and he started straight away. We had some rain and wind which delayed pouring the concrete a little but our whole yard and pergola was finish in just 8 days. The yard turned out great and I'd definitely have Jacob come back for any additional projects. I'm very particular and there were a few things I wasn't happy with but Jacob was more then happy to fix/change them and he even offered to come back in the future to help me with the irrigation when I get plants in.
Newsky El Paso (El Paso, TX) did the remodel work on 2 of our bathrooms to our complete satisfaction. Larry, the owner, uses his own employees, who along with him, have all the requisite craftsmanship/building skills to complete the jobs. When they ran into unexpected difficulties, Larry relied on his decades of experience to recommend resolutions and has the skills to implement the fix. You will need to make all your own purchases of major items: toilets, tubs, cabinets, tops, faucets, paint, tile, etc., He supplies the ancillary stuff needed to complete the install which is built into his estimate. Make sure you get all the installation instructions, warranty papers, operating manuals, extra parts, etc. His guys are really good about getting rid of trash, but you need to let Larry know what you want to keep or out it goes. Let him know you want quality painting - no short cuts like leaving switch plates on the walls or hinges on doors and painting around them. He'll ensure the painter complies.

The Ultimate Guide to Picking PC's for Gaming
Your PC selection will determine the excitement, speed, and power you get while gaming. A desktop PC is one desirable device for gaming because it allows you to change specifications at will. Here are the gaming computer specs explained in detail.
There are two principal processor types, making it advisable to pick one that suits you best. The best performance during gaming will be determined by the power of the processor you select, making it important to pick the best that you will find. Games typically use between 1 and 4 cores, making a quad-core processor desirable, especially if its clocks speeds are high.
A cooling device for your CPU is required because of the importance and cost of your gaming PC processor. Some processor manufacturers attach heat sinks or fans to processors, but you may be required to attach one yourself … Read more

In March a number of US supermarket chains pledged not to sell genetically modified salmon.
Commitments not to sell genetically engineered seafood have come from several national chains including Trader Joe's, Aldi and Whole Foods, as well as regional retailers.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is in the final stages of deciding whether to allow GM salmon onto the market. If approved, AquaBounty Technology's salmon will be the first genetically engineered animal to enter the food supply.
Eric Hoffman, a campaigner for Friends of the Earth, said in a statement: "Now it's time for other food retailers, including Walmart, Costco and Safeway, to follow suit and let their customers know they will not be selling unlabelled, poorly studied genetically engineered seafood."
Trudy Bialic from PCC Natural Markets, a chain of health food stores in Washington state, told the Guardian newspaper: "We won't sell genetically engineered fish because we don't believe it is sustainable or healthy."
Biogenetics company AquaBounty combined genes from two species of salmon with a pouter eel to produce a fish it says it can bring to market twice as fast as conventional salmon.

Black Sabbath bassist Terence 'Geezer' Butler called on his fans to boycott Fortnum & Mason while it shamefully clings to the sale of foie gras.
It is illegal to produce foie gras in the UK due to the cruel methods of production, where geese are force-fed using oral feeding tubes.
The rock 'n' roll legend has also written to Fortnum & Mason's chief executive, Ewan Venters, urging him to remove the controversial product from the store's shelves.
"I've been a musician for most of my life, and I'm not afraid to make some noise, especially when it comes to issues of cruelty to animals", says Butler. "I'll therefore be urging my family, friends and fans to stay away from Fortnum's … until you stop selling that vile foie gras."
He also asks Fortnum's boss, "Do you really want to give two fingers to British animal welfare laws by being one of the only remaining retailers to sell this 'torture in a tin'?"
Geezer's scathing criticism comes after PETA showed him undercover video footage which exposed terrible abuse on foie gras farms supplying Fortnum & Mason – including at the abattoir, where birds had knives plunged into their throats without prior stunning, in contravention of both UK and French law.
The student union at Canada's York university has passed a resolution endorsing the global boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel.
The resolution calls for the university to divest from holdings in companies that do business with Israel and to cut ties with Israeli academics. The vote by the council of the York Federation of Students in March was 18-2 in favour and was advocated for by York Students Against Israeli Apartheid. The student federation represents over 52,000 undergraduate students at York, Canada's third-largest university.
York University's student association joins two others in Canada — the University of Toronto and Concordia University graduate student associations — in endorsing the BDS campaign.
Israel Boycott
Nikon is subject to a boycott call from campaign group Viva! over its promotion of bloodsports.
Viva! have accused the company of hypocrisy for promoting cameras to wildlife photographers while at the same time selling sights for hunting rifles.
Viva! say that the latest Nikon catalogue shows a photo of two polar bears touching noses with the line, "Nature is full of moments of timeless beauty, to be captured before they are gone forever." Elsewhere the company proclaims: "Nature is a gift to be appreciated, treasured." At the same time the company produces a rifle-scope specifically designed for killing "large game". With the company's website stating, "Africa has long been a continent of dreams and danger for hunters around the world. For those seeking their dangerous game adventure on the Dark Continent."
However most of their market is in the US where Nikon produce rifle-scopes designed for turkey hunting and one called the Coyote Special. They say they are "… proud to introduce the first line of rifle-scopes built specifically for predator hunters".
Nikon also still sponsor hunting and in 2012 declared they were proud to be a strategic partner with Texas Trophy Hunters.
The campaign group is asking people to boycott Nikon, email the company and sign an online petition.
You can do these things via the Viva website at www.viva.org.uk/nikon.
